Brief:

To create a short animation for online distribution and viewing.

Solution:

Above Ground, a short 2D & Stop Motion animation, tells the story of two magical beings who fall in love but are separated by distance and time.

Inspiration:

My experience of being away from family for the sake of school. I thought that young people going through something similar (missing their loved ones) could find encouragement from the way the story ends.

Skills Demonstrated: 

1. Stop Motion Filming
2. Art direction and set building
3. Asset creation using Illustrator
4. 2D animation using After Effects
5. Non-verbal storytelling
